Description/Notes
This two-act drama is about true friendship and love and acceptance. The Story begins with two best friends, Hector and Donald who grew up knowing each other all their lives. Until one day, drama strikes home and changes things forever. Hector finds out that his best friend Donald had contracted AIDS. Donald knew about his illness for some time before telling Hector, but in fear of Hector and others not understanding, Donald stayed away in hiding. When Donald tells his Mother (Ms. Jenkins) that he had contracted the virus, to his dismay, Ms. Jenkins does the unthinkable.
